Travel Canada For--Wildlife Viewing

This week's New York Times has a review on locations responding to the new demand for more natural wildlife viewing opportunities. The article made reference to the Black Bear experience at the Fairmont Chateau Montebello where bears may be viewed from a screened-in structure in the wilderness. The hotel takes guests to a wild-bear observation sessions, from May until late September to its private 65,000-acre nature preserve.

I personally just returned from Whitehorse and the Southern Lakes area of Canada's Yukon. The month of April provided a spectacular wildlife viewing trip where we saw migrating Trumpeter Swans, Grizzly Bears, Elk, Caribou, Goats, Sheep, Deer, Bald Eagles, & Harrier Hawks. Spring is truly a great time for wildlife viewing before the full foliage takes over, making it more difficult to see through the bushes and trees. Whitehorse Hotels
